Directions Make the chile puree
Stem and seed the ancho chiles, then place them on a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until they puff up. This will toast the chiles and bring out their aroma. Place the chiles in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft.
Put the chiles, chipotle, adobo sauce, garlic, 1/4 cup diced onions, cumin and 1 cup of chicken stock in a blender. Pulse until you get a thick, smooth puree.
In a saucepan over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and pour n the chile puree. Fry the chile puree for 2 to 3 minutes, adding the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth and stirring.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Heat the tortillas
In another saucepan or skillet over medium heat add the vegetable oil and fry the tortillas for 20 to 30 seconds on each side. Remove and place on papeer towels to drain. Add more oil as needed.
Make the enchiladas
Place tortilla in a frying pan. Pour 1/4 cup of the chile puree sauce over the tortilla and then add 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and about 1 teaspoon of
chopped onions.
Top with another tortilla, 1/4 cup chile puree sauce, 1/4 cup cheese and a teaspoon of onions.
Repeat one more time to finish the ehcnilada stack.
Prepare 3 more stacked enchiladas following the procedure above. Cook the enchiladas over low heat for five minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. (you can optionally heat the enchiladas in a microwave oven for 2 minutes on highest setting).
